Before becoming a School Counselor he worked as a case manager for at-risk youth for three years. He is a native of Colorado, growing up and eventually graduating from Brighton High School. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling and watching movies. Rafael often can be found working with students on: fulfilling their graduation requirements, with concurrent enrollment/ASCENT opportunities and with their post-secondary planning.
He understands students are more than a transcript, so he works with individual students and families on seeking their full potential. He invites students and families to come see the post-secondary opportunities students have, because he believes planning is essential to future success.
